All Implemented Interfaces:

OTS

public class CoronadoOTS

extends java.lang.Object

implements OTS

This class implements key pair generation and signature generation of the Coronado one-time signature scheme (OTSS), described in the Cryptology ePrint archive article "On the security and the effiency of the Merkle signature scheme". The class is used by the CMSS classes.

CoronadoOTS

public CoronadoOTS()

Method Detail

init

public void init(MessageDigest md,
                 PRNG rng)

Initialize the OTS.

Specified by:

init in interface OTS

Parameters:

md - the hash function for the OTS

rng - the RNG used for key pair generation

generateKeyPair

public void generateKeyPair(byte[] seed)

Generate an OTS key pair using the given seed and the message digest and PRNG specified via init(MessageDigest, PRNG).

Specified by:

generateKeyPair in interface OTS

Parameters:

seed - the seed for the PRGN

getVerificationKey

public byte[] getVerificationKey()

Specified by:

getVerificationKey in interface OTS

Returns:

the verification key generated via generateKeyPair(byte[])

getSignatureLength

public int getSignatureLength()

Specified by:

getSignatureLength in interface OTS

Returns:

the length of the one-time signature

sign

public byte[] sign(byte[] mBytes)

Generate a one-time signature of the given message using the private key generated via generateKeyPair(byte[]).

Specified by:

sign in interface OTS

Parameters:

mBytes - the message

Returns:

the one-time signature of the message

computeVerificationKey

public byte[] computeVerificationKey(byte[] mBytes,
                                     byte[] sigBytes)

Compute the OTS verification key from the one-time signature of a message. This is *NOT* a complete OTS signature verification, but it suffices for usage with CMSS.

Specified by:

computeVerificationKey in interface OTS

Parameters:

mBytes - the message

Returns:

the OTS verification key
